Been spending the whole day yesterday getting things to work in Linux. Currently it can access to the Internet, playing my DVDs and MP3s, as well as doing most stuff that I can think of at the moment.

To describe the whole experience, well… it really reminds me of those Windows 95 days when I want to do anything beyond what it is intended to do. But it’s not that hard once you got the hang of it.

Hmm… Still working on getting everything installed. 😊 Probably by then, I’d become a Linux convert? 😛

It’s very excruciating, but finally I got my Linux to talk to the Internet! v(T^T)v

Proof: (or more like a proof that I had done it before ^^”)

Woohoo… now the next challenging task is to get my MP3s, DVDs and videos playing… ^^||||…

Nothing much happening these days, just me with the same workload (umm… me being workaholic?).

Been spending some time doing some computer spring cleaning, considering how cripple my WindowsXP has become after having myself screwing up my computer settings :p. Somehow it’s kind of a soothing experience seeing that the computer is being setup in an ideal environment with no clutter at all. But seriously I do need to do the same to my data partition with all my MP3, videos, photographs and other junk :p.

Installed Fedora Core 4 (Linux) as well :). I seriously thinking of converting to Linux as my main OS, the only thing now is that before that is being realised, I have to setup tons of stuff… some as basic as getting my modem installed and getting my Internet …

Finally I got round to type the lyrics of About You, and gosh it took me quite a lot of time doing dictionary work x_x”.

Today seems to be a normal day as usual, just that I’m missing their presence around here, especially Sze Hau.

Well… at least I have something to look forward to. I really hoped that they had a great time over there :).

Is it a recollection of the past, that knowing you are going far away triggers a lot of feelings and memories?

At this time, even the sunny blue sky seems to contain hints of loneliness… probably it’s only me searching for your traces?

Somehow by some unexpected turn of events, I consider myself very fortunate to get hold of Chi (aka SeraphicLaw in RPGamer message board, or drifting_floe in LJ). From the people I have known from the Internet, he’s probably one of the kindest and most soft-spoken friend that I had. He used to be very active online before he suddenly disappeared from the Internet in general. …Although “disappear” is not a good word to use, considering that he did made an announcement about it. But somehow we didn’t expect him not showing up in the Internet for so long — about three years, to be exact.

Guess that he did manage to pull the plug off, a sign of self control that I really admire him for.

Coming back, it’s really great to hear …

Currently recovering from emotional sickness, needs chicken soup. 😛

On an Emotional Roller-Coaster

From Osho Times Online: Your Answers on Emotions (Oct 24 Issue)

I feel I’m always on a roller – coaster of feelings. How to get off it? I’ve tried just watching them all but as soon as one has gone, up comes something else!

Live each emotion that you feel. It is you.

Hateful, ugly, unworthy — whatever it is, actually …

As mentioned, the combo drive is picky with what it reads. The good news is that I accidentally found out that it is pretty sensitive to the beginning tracks of the CD (for non-techie people, it means the inner circle of the CD), so a quick wipe or two pretty much solves the problem :).

Yay for that! 😄

In other news, I reformatted my PC after having myself screwing up the whole system a few months ago. Still in the process of installing stuff. Probably that would take me about a week or two.

Let’s see…

Getting some computer stuff today, a replacement USB cable for my card reader and one stack of CDRs. And the biggest frustration is that my card reader doesn’t like the new cable I bought, and my combo drive refuses to recognise the CDRs I bought! p(>_<)q

Argh!!!!

Luckily that the replacement cable I bought is one of those multi-purpose USB cables that you can fit different connectors to connect to different devices. Apparently plugging the card reader directly to the connector works. So that’s a good thing. Still checking out whether there’s a firmware upgrade for my combo drive… (update: No, it still doesn’t work, but apparently my combo drive is really picky on what it reads… ._.)

Gah… It does seems that I always have …

Not feeling well, emotionally, today. Or I should say that I feel pretty sucky today…

Truth to be told is that nothing upsetting really happening today… or more confusingly is that I don’t even feel any forms of negative emotions today. It’s just feels like… some sort of repressed emotions wanted to break itself free, but yet it just have itself… stuck there, unable to move anywhere at all.

Coming to think about it, it really reflects back a lot of feelings in the past: dreams and desires that never get fulfilled, occasions when I feel left out, rejected and ignored, helplessness, and the list goes on… A lot of them are pretty much psychological, or probably illusionary, fears. Somehow I just feel that… being human with desires, desires acts like a two-edged …
